Reviews

"This was an unforgettable boat ride highlighting the many beautiful high rises along the Chicago River. It is a completely different view of the buildings we all view mostly from the car. A knowledgable tour guide gives history and other details of each building. Just a great afternoon cruising the river!!!"

"This was excellent. Being a tourist, this was just a great way to see the city from a different angle as well as being super informative. We took the Architecture tour and it was great. Worth every penny."

"This tour was great because you have the opportunity to experience the joys of sight seeing in a different way. Floating between massive skyscrapers on a beautiful windy Chicago day... Nothing quite like it :) Prepare to capture spectacular views of some of the most beautiful buildings in the world."
